Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an
Oshkosh Corporation company,
announced recently that the U.S.
Army has placed another order for
the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle

The JLTV program is currently in Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP)

around the country. The program anticipates a Full Rate Production
decision in FY19, with the first Army unit equipped by mid-FY19 and both
